Why a stunning little place in the bush! I booked the whole lodge and personally wouldn't like to stay there with other people that I didn't know because we completely made this camp our own. I took with me friends from the UK and they got such an amazing experience! The views are beautiful and accommodation stunning and we made... More

Our campsite Nselwini is fantastic. It is a combination of a built and tented structure sleeping two with bathroom and kitchen. it nestles under an ancient bush of shady uMthombothi trees overlooking the mighty Black Mfolozi River and we are lullabied to sleep at night by the Lions roar, Baboon calls, riversong and frogs acourting. The camp is eco friendly... More

The Mpila tented camp was booked out over the holidays so we gave this place a go. We arrived a bit late to the gate and was not informed that we were supposed to check in at Mpila camp first, but managed to get into our room and check in the following morning. The camp is open so animals can... More

We were a party of eight people- two families and spent 3 nights this past December. Fortunately all children were teenagers as the 2-bedded units are quite separate, which could be a problem with younger children at night time. As we were a large group (we had 4 of the 8 units) we were given use of the conference centre... More

We recently spent 3 nights at Nselweni. It is definitely a step up from Mpila. We found the kitchen to be very well-kitted out and the furnishings to be tasteful and pleasant. We stayed in bungalow #5, which has the best view of the river below. One highlight of the stay was coming out of the bungalow in the morning... More

We spent 2 nights at Nselweni Bush Camp and I must say we were rather disappointed. It was definitely not worth the higher price we paid compared to Mpila resort. Unfortunately it is starting to get run down. No base covers on beds, no frying pan, no shower curtain, missing bathroom fittings, and just a general slightly tacky appearance. We... More

We spent one night at Nselweni Bush Camp, it is located 4kms off the main tar road to Mpila camp so really gives you the feeling you are in the bush amongst the animals. It has all the facilities you need for self catering with a braai outside. The canvas roof also adds to the "outdoors" feeling especially when it... More

This visit took me into double figures to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi park but it was the first time I had stayed at the newly refurbished Nselweni bush camp. Very impressive to with a modern feel. My chalet looked straight into the bush through the large glass doors. Coming and going into camp I was greeted by permanent local residents including giraffe, white... More

I can recommend this bush logde to everyone - especially a couple who want a romantic stay! The lodge is located in the middle of the bush, and while we were on the terrace doing a bbq, a group of nyala's walked right in front of us. It's so quiet and peaceful out there!

We booked here for our first anniversary. We had tried to book mpila camp but it was busy for the period we wanted but the booking agent said nselweni was available. We weren't sure what to expect, but we couldn't believe the place when we arrived. Inside everything was clean and well appointed. I was not expecting luxury in the... More
